Fox Sports Regional Networks is made up of 22 owned-and-operated networks. Krolik will also assume oversight of Fox Deportes, which leads both Univision Deportes and ESPN Deportes in year-to-date overall viewers and in the 18-49 demo.

“Jeff has played a vital role in growing our regional sports network business and helping it become the industry leader it is today,” said Shanks. “I’m confident Jeff will continue to do an outstanding job managing our regional business, while also overseeing the growth of Fox Deportes.”

Prior to Fox Sports, Krolik served as general manager of Fox Sports Bay Area from 1995-2007. That followed a 15-year tenure at HBO, where he last served as vice president of HBO International, and previously launched HBO in Brazil.
